Proud Mary

This is the story of Mary, who grew up in hard times when she and most people she knew were poor. They had to live off the land and plant and grow all they ate. They made the clothes on their backs and the quilts that covered their bodies on long, cold winter nights. When she married, she married the most handsome man she had ever met; life with him turned out to be hard also. They had dreams of a farm and at least a dozen kids. But things in life do not go as you plan them. They never got the farm, though they came very close to having a dozen children—they had ten. Read as Mary faces each battle in life that so many of us can relate to and see just how at the end of her life she can look back and still hold her head up and be known as Proud Mary.”Boone, Darlene is the author of 'Proud Mary', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424172863 and ISBN 1424172861.
